It is apparent that a number of imports have left tens of thousands of

That's from a mechanical edit that should never have happened in the
first place. The edit was basically done in order to establish the
"denotation" tag for trees, which was almost nonexistent before.
The denotation values were not pulled from an external source, but based
on guesses of the kind "another tree within x meters => must be a
cluster of trees". In my opinion, it could make sense to also remove the
denotation keys on trees with set␣better␣denotation. After all, the
continuing existence of that fixme shows that no human ever verified these.
I also agree with the general goal to get rid of pointless fixme values.
Just for a bit of background on this specific issue, for the lucky
people who missed out on it last time around, the mechanical edit that
added those values was discussed here:

and there's some discussion (a couple of years after the event) on the
German forum here:

The discussion on the GB list lead to a revert there:
